Local and regional leaders the world round, together with key partners of civil society, the private sector and the international community, are convinced that by giving specific attention to Sustainable Urbanization in the new agenda we will be triggering the type of transformation that will enable the integration of economic, social, environmental and cultural dimensions to address inequalities, prosperity, and sustainability. Our campaign advocating for a stand-alone goal on urbanization has mobilized thousands around the world and is raising awareness of our membership in the post2015 process.
A new partnership must be created based on a common understanding of our shared humanity, mutual respect and mutual benefit. The challenges faced are universal and need to be addressed together by all countries, including Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
